A few days later!
The land of Xu County!
Ying Ziye listened to the report of the bad guy.
In Chenjun, a large number of thefts have occurred in recent days, and all the robbers are identified as local wealthy businessmen or officials.
When Ying Ziye heard this, he couldn't help but show strong interest on his face.
However, there was a hint of ridicule in this smile.
Wealthy businessmen have a lot of property, so it is understandable that they will steal. But officials have so much money, and 90% of it is corruption and bribery, and they exploit the people's income, so they should be killed.
"Continue to keep an eye on the situation in Chen County, and also investigate who the thief is!"
"Find out where the property of those officials' families comes from."
If it is a normal background such as saving money from ancestors, farming or doing business on the side, then it will be fine.
If you really take bribes and exploit people's income, you will definitely die!
Yuan Tiangang reported back: "The bad guys have found out who the thief is, and his name is Ji Bu."
"It is said that this person is very faithful to his promises and will not exchange them for a thousand gold, so he has this name. 'A hundred catties of gold is not as good as a Jibu Yinuo', so there is a saying that a thousand gold and a promise!"
"Really……"
When Ying Ziye heard this, he wanted to meet this person even more.
It's time!
The bad guy quickly walked into the main hall, bowed and said: "Sir, there is a secret message from Xianyang."
"oh?"
Ying Ziye's expression moved slightly, he took the bamboo slip from the bad guy and scanned it carefully.
On the bamboo slips, Li Si reported truthfully what happened in Xianyang City.
"It seems that the opponent's attack speed is faster than we imagined!"
Ying Ziye's eyes narrowed slightly and he continued to scan the content below.
But soon, the analysis of Li Si's feud with Gongshu instantly attracted Ying Ziye's attention.
The fake money template mentioned above may come from the hands of Mu Yanshi.
And it can be compared with Gongshu family and Mohist family.
"Master Mu Yan, that's quite interesting."
"Tiangang, let the bad guys search out the largest black market nearby as soon as possible!"
"Here!"
Yuan Tiangang took the order and left.
Bad guys were dispatched all over Yingchuan County and Chen County, looking for the surrounding black markets.
Through inquiries from martial arts figures in the two counties, as well as low-level officials such as people from all walks of life in brothels and casinos, as well as gangsters, news about the black market was quickly obtained.
at night!
Bad news comes.
"Young Master, according to my subordinates' investigation, there is a black market in Chen County."
"oh?!"
Ying Ziye was very interested, as it turned out to be the next place where Dongxun Tianxia would go.
"The black market is in Chen County. If you want to find Master Mu Yan, you need to make some preparations in advance."
While Ying Ziye murmured softly, he looked at the unpacked information on the desk, and a bright light flashed in his eyes.
"Yes!"
Ying Ziye's eyes lit up and he had a plan in mind.
A skilled craftsman, a machine-creator, and an ingenious thing.
In this case, why not make paper? !
"It's papermaking!"
Ying Ziye punched the palm of his hand and said loudly: "Go and tell the county magistrate and others to prepare more bark, fishing nets, linen, poor cloth, etc. tomorrow morning, and build a large pool and find some Workers come.”
"Here!"
The bad guy was ordered to retreat and go to inform the county magistrate and others.
The next day.
In the county government office.
The county magistrate did not dare to neglect. After hearing the instructions last night, he immediately ordered the officials to start preparations.
In the backyard, there was originally a water tank built of bluestone, with a number of tools placed next to it.
Strong men like carpenters and workers were also gathered together, looking at each other in confusion, not knowing what was going on.
Ying Ziye took Hou Qing and others to the backyard and said, "We're getting some big cauldrons, filling them with water and igniting them."
"Here!"
The county magistrate immediately ordered the government officials to carry the large cauldron of firewood.
"Today I will teach you to make a new thing, which is similar to bamboo slips and silk cloth, and can be used to record text, but it is different from the two and is extremely convenient."
Ying Ziye looked around at the carpenters and ordered: "The first step is to cut the wood into slices. You remove the bark of these trees, and then slice the wood into thin slices."
"And all those fishing nets, linen, and rags are all broken into pieces. In short, as many pieces as you want."
"Here!"
The carpenter was given the order. Although he was curious, he did not dare to neglect it.
Immediately follow Ying Ziye's instructions and start making preparations.
And all the officials around him were also puzzled. What on earth was going to be built? What could be more convenient than bamboo slips and silk cloth to record text?
Soon, the water in the cauldron boiled.
"The second step is to cook it over high heat, put these things into the big cauldron, add lime to boil, and then find something to cover it."
Upon hearing this, a group of carpenters hurriedly poured the prepared things into the cauldron and added lime.
There's just nothing around to cover it up.
At this time, an official came forward and said: "Eighth Young Master, maybe the idle door panels in the government warehouse can be used."
"Okay, go get it."
Ying Ziye nodded.
"Here!"
The official took the order, and several government officials went together to help him carry the door panel over.
The door panel is made of copper-clad wood and is extremely huge. It can be completely covered when placed on top of the big cauldron, even slightly beyond it. However, it is held up by the big cauldron's ears.
bass!
Ying Ziye immediately raised his sword and cut a large hole in the door panel facing Li Er's position on the cauldron.
boom!
The door panel fell down and fit tightly.
In the cauldron, hot water is boiling.
The mixture is constantly tumbling.
As the hot water surged, the top of the door panel was lifted from time to time, and steam came out along the opening.
Seeing this, Ying Ziye ordered: "The third step is to take out the contents of the mortar, put it into the stone mortar, and beat it with a stone hammer until it is smashed and resembles clay."
All the government servants were busy carrying stone mortars and stone hammers, while the carpenters followed the instructions and put things into the stone mortars and beat them with stone hammers.
Hou Qing found it novel and joined in, banging bang bang bang.
Until it turns into mud.
"The fourth step is to put the material into the curtain."
Ying Ziye explained and commanded: "Pour these into the water tank, stir them evenly with a wooden stick, and then use a bamboo curtain to swish the material in the water. The wood becomes a thin layer attached to the bamboo curtain, and the rest of the water flows through the bamboo curtain. It flows down the trough on all sides.”
After listening to the detailed explanation, a group of carpenters became familiar with it. They held stone mortars in their hands and poured the mud into the pool and began to stir...
